ok but like chris was revamped to be evil due to eugenics so
like I think it's fair to complain about a former abuse victim named after someone who played superman being a villain simply to make a biological son have a villainous rival.
plus a lot of "superfam" posts are actually 'kent family" posts
that being said, more people need to read Steel, and all of both john and Natasha's appearances.
if this the post ur referencing
i dont think ive ever said anything abt wanting chris to be evil just that he doesnt exist anymore thats not an embracement for lor z0d. wanting chris back vs having lz now — both are a separate subject to the fact he's included more than CURRENT canon family members. we can do better than trying to fix dc editorials xenophobia w fandom racism n exclusion 😭
#ur first line is kinda blowing me bc what if i told u lets dig deeper...chris as a concept was a form of xenophobic exceptionalism..🤔#lets not just start n stop at his current self dc cldve introduced a memorial kryptonian kid in the 2000s without defaulting AGAIN#to homeworld kryptonians = evil except for clark kara n whoever they can influence. but they did so: why?#this drags even into the kandor expansion/new krypton saga two years later#which ends in NK getting blown up bc again fuck the homeworlders ig#thats why i liked the phaelosians (however u spell it) thaola the twins n other kryptonian diaspora pkj introduced#but ANYWAYYZ see how once again we embodied the fandom issue the og textpost was abt the steels n were here talking abt chris 😭😭🤔

finished booster shot and for sure convinced clark doesn’t remember new krypton’s genocide and that NO ONE remembers chris. very little in rebirth indicates that clark actually remembers what went down with sam lane and zod. like yeah he don’t LIKE zod, but he actually grew to UNDERSTAND zod during new krypton. the last major superman arc pre flashpoint really got erased huh. editorial couldn’t deal with lois and clark taking responsibility for their martyred adopted kid, but like, creating a cookie cutter blood nepobaby was apparently a good replacement.

A Man Named Humanity
Fandom: DC Comics
Ships: Gen
Ratings: T+
Warnings: Genocide, preboot/reboot mashup, Geoff Johns compliant
Story Synopsis: In the world before the Flashpoint Paradox, the effects of the New Kryptonian genocide by General Sam Lane of the United States military reach far beyond American soil. On the other side of the world, Jay Nakamura looks up at the sky and wonders why a part of him feels so empty despite all the carnage. After all, the surviving Kryptonians had massacred thousands as revenge for their destroyed planet.
And yet, Jay Nakamura can't help but feel a kinship with the people from the stars.
[Set Pre-Flashpoint, post-New Kryptonian genocide; written for 2024 Superfam Horror Week, Day 6 - Inheritance]
~~~
To have a full understanding of this story, I recommend reading the Pre-Flashpoint New Krypton saga and Superman: Son of Kal El. You don't need to read the Wildstorm books, but you may if you want to experience more despair (and fun!).
I wanted to dedicate at least one story to the honorary member of Superfam, Jay Nakamura. He's my little meow meow and I love to see him suffer (affectionately). Thank you for reading and don't forget to leave a review!!╰( ̄ω ̄o)

here is a reading guide for post-age up jon, including the good parts only so you guys could appreciate him more.
THE UNITY SAGA
superman (2018) #7 - 10 this is the story that started it all. jon goes on a space journey with his grandpa and comes back seven years older with enough trauma to last him for the rest of his life and more.
THE ONE WHO FELL
superman #29, action comics #1029, superman #30 - 32 during his time in the future, jon discovers his father might not have much time left in the present. worried about his dad, jon tries to warn him and prevent the inevitable. this story is cute and shows clark's love for his son and how proud he is of the man jon has become.
WARWORLD RISING
action comics #1030 - 1035 follows up the pervious story. clark and jon find refugees who escaped warworld. while clark is ready to help 100%, jon thinks it's a trap to lure his father and is vocal about his suspicions. this story lets jon have flaws, and they make complete sense for his character. while he isn't the main main character, it's a great read to help you understand his character.
SON OF KAL-EL
superman: son of kal-el #1 - 6, annual 2021, #7 - 8, nightwing (2016) #89, superman: soke #9 - 18, action comics #1050 after clark leaves for warworld to help the people there, jon is left in charge as the main superman on earth. with his dad gone, his identity being public and the weight of the world on his shoulders, jon tries to figure out the kind of hero he wants to be. this series also introduces jay nakamura, a journalist and a freedom fighter jon falls in love with. the final three issues is jon's reunion with his dad.
DARK CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
dark crisis #1 - 7 with the whole justice leauge dead, jon tires his best to keep the world spinning and the people in it hopeful. he goes around, trying to form a new justice league. this story shows how jon truly is his father's son and that he deserves the title "superman", as well as his strengths, and his undying spirit.
RISE OF METALLO
action comics #1051 - 1056 clark comes back from warworld with twins, whom he and lois later adopt. jon struggles seeing his parents raise the kids in a way they couldn't raise him because of the time they lost. still though, jon tries his best to be there for his new siblings.
this is jon's main timeline since he came back from his space trip. those are the required stories. bellow, i'll list some comics that aren't necessary to understand him, but are nonetheless good.
THE SUPERMAN OF METROPOLIS
future state: superman of metropolis #1 - 2 this is a future state story that isn't canon. jon bottles the city of metropolis in hopes of saving it. the story follows the consequences of his choice.
OUT THERE
dark crisis: worlds without a justice league - superman #1 do you wonder what would've happened had jon grown up with his folks? do you wonder what he would've been like had he not spent his formative years in a volcano prison? well, this is a story for you. this is clark's perfect world, and in a perfect world, he gets to see his boy grow into a man.
NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS
nightwing (2016) #101 - 104 (back up story) nightwing investigates a mystery in the circus and calls jon for help. the story is a cute team-up between the two.
A HEART IN METROPOLIS
action comics #1059 - "a heart in metropolis" (back up story) jon and jay struggle to find time to spend together, with life getting in the way. finally, the boys find the time to go on a date.
MAGICAL MYSTERY CUBE
superman & robin special #1 cute jon and damian team-up. if you like the super sons, this is a story for you. it shows that their friendship can still work, even with jon being older now.
ELECTRIC
lazarus planet: assult on krypton #1 - “electric” during the lazarus planet event, a common criminal gets powers and decides to join jon in helping people. their dynamic is fun: a righteous hero and a flirty villain. even though i don't particularly ship them, i still enjoyed their interaction.
this is it, guys. this is the list. happy reading! :)

Dick Grayson:
8, 19, 25, 27, 28
Chris Kent:
6, 17, 23, 27
Dick Grayson
8) DISCOWING FTW
19) I think probably shipping him with any of the Fab Five but Donna especially. They’re clearly platonic life partners, not a romantic couple (Looking at you Mr Chuck Dixon)
25) Maybe Graduation Day and the subsequent Outsiders series. Looking him being competent doesn’t translate to him being the resident jerk of his team. He built trust with the Titans for a reason.
27) A trio of you may from the marvelous competition: Peter Parker, Kurt Wagner and Clint Barton. With Pete they are Heart of the Heroes’ Guys, while Dick, Clint and Kurt are all circus folks XD
28) People might say firing that Power Stripping device in New Order but I counter with that entire plan involving Kaldur being a double agent and faking Artemis getting killed by him in Young Justice Animated to take down the Light. While successful, there could’ve been ways to argument it without being more Batman esque about it.
Chris Kent
6) N/A for the ship itself but rather I am not fond of the weird again up for him to date Thara who even before the whole thing was still clearly much older than Chris as seen in canon as she was there even before Krypton exploded, being abducted in Kandor by Brainiac. Yeah just make those two more contemporary with each other and not requiring artificially aging up Chris, Pretty Please
17) “Mo…ma..” If only it was treated more preciously back then but alas, his birth mom Ursa and him were living under Zod’s authoritarian roof in the Phantom Zone at that time
23) He marries Thara (in my version it’s a slow burn from childhood crushes to high school sweethearts and eventually married after graduation), and the two raise a kid together and it’s a whole family of Kryptonian super heroes
27) Son Gohan from Dragon Ball. In particular Gohan as we seen him in the Cell Games Saga and the movie Bojack Unbound. Just two ten year alien kids who are total sweethearts yet can get righteously dangerous when bad guys are running rough-shot and hurting their friends
Thanks for the ask @spider-jaysart
I liked these XD

Hello, Tumblr! I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek into my latest project: *Galactic Convergence*. This story is an epic fusion of the Star Wars universe and Mass Effect, blending the mysticism of the Force with the advanced biotics of the Mass Effect galaxy.
**🌌 The Premise:**
In the wake of the Reaper War, Earth has become a dying world, losing most of its core and facing a slow decline similar to Krypton. Humanity’s last hope is the *Starborn Ascendant*, a massive space station serving as their new home. As they journey through dark space towards a distant galaxy, they encounter ancient powers and enigmatic beings.
The main idea of the story
- **The Starborn**: Rare individuals who embody both biotic and Force energies, marked by a distinctive blue-white star glow when their shields falter. These beings represent a unique balance of power, with one being a master of biotics and the other a sage of the Force.
- **The Crucible’s Legacy**: The Crucible, a superweapon that once saved the galaxy, also left Earth in ruins and caused a cascade of damage through the mass relay network, forever altering the balance of power and connectivity across galaxies.
**🛰️ The Story:**
Join our protagonist, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who embarks on a five-year mission aboard the *Starborn Ascendant* at the request of Echo and the Bad Batch. Alongside old friends and new allies, Obi-Wan discovers the mysteries of the Starborn and their connection to an ancient prophecy.
**🎨 Cover Art Reveal:**
I’m thrilled to reveal the cover art for *Galactic Convergence*! ] This artwork captures the essence of our story, blending elements of both galaxies into a stunning visual.
**🌠 What to Expect:**
- **Epic Space Adventures**: Explore the vast reaches of space and the intricate dynamics of two intertwined universes.
- **Rich World-Building**: Dive into the lore of both Star Wars and Mass Effect, discovering how they converge in this new narrative.
- **Deep Character Development**: Follow Obi-Wan and other key characters as they navigate their roles in this evolving saga.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you might have about *Galactic Convergence*. Stay tuned for more updates and insights into this thrilling crossover!

This afternoon's To-Do List:
-make myself abandon the week-long search for my watercolor bookmarks and just make a new set so I'm not holding up the book @acepandemi ordered any longer
-finish up my last few Artfight sketches and either commit to coloring them or not, then post
-make a more coherent outline for my 'So you need help picking an Amkyn race for your new Wolfen and Warlocks character' quiz and add a few more questions
-settle in with music, snacks, and my copy of Fire and Blood to work on the next segment of my DC in Westeros saga/fic/thing (so far I have Clark's ancestors escaping the Doom of Krypton and Tal-El the Conqueror's efforts to unite the seven kingdoms under his rule, but I gotta flesh out the next few generations a bit more before I get to the 'present day' stuff)
I can probably cram all that into the next five-ish hours before dinner, right?

I mean no offense by this, but there is no need to bash on my boy Chris just because. I care about him. And I'm not even salty about Jon's age up. Matter of fact, the age up is the best thing to happen to his character. He is way better as an adult in my opinion. Before that he was just Clois' Cute Kid with a cute kid personality, but nothing special.
And no, Chris isn't better as Lor Zod. Clark adopting him and doing for a kid what his folks did for him when he crashed no Earth is way better than Zod being a bad father and Chris growing up with some of the worst people in the Galaxy. But to each their own I guess. Just no need to trash on one character to uplift another.
I wasn't bashing Chris as a character, I was just genuinely under the belief no one could give that much care for a character whose appearances were so few and characterization so sparse, especially as Clois's son. This was Geoff Johns' fault for not delivering on the themes you brought up. But you're right, to each their own, and the themes that were at least attempted at being explored were pretty good. I think you'd enjoy Warworld Saga a lot if you like the theme of Clark adopting new children and the idea of breaking abuse cycles!
I personally like Chris as Lor Zod better because the abuse in the Chris arc, for me at least, was under-explored and made no sense for Zod & Ursa's characters (not that i think they won't be abusive, just that how it was written made no sense).
I'm a more recent reader for comics so the recent Zod things I read were the Bendis run where the Zod fam was going at it against the Kent-Lane Kryptonian fam, and Kneel Before Zod. Lor Zod is still an abused child, he's the same age as 'Chris' was when he was sent to earth before, but Lor's abuse is far more sinister, defined, and in-character for Zod & Ursa.
We are told Chris was abused. But why? Zod and Ursa being the bad guys isn't enough of an explanation, & if Geoff Johns seriously wanted to explore this topic, he should've invested more emotional effort. ZodUrsa went to great lengths to concieve Lor, why on earth would they abuse him in a way that made Chris just hate them? Without any specified purpose? He was their only shot for all they knew, why did he not tell Clark about Zod? Why did they jsut never discuss anything? Clark can detect lies so if Chris was told to lie to Clark about his parents being ZodUrsa, why didn't Clark call it out?
Lor's abuse is specific, it makes sense for Zod and Ursa as characters, and it definitely has an impact on how Lor acts. Lor is their weapon, their heir, the future ruler of the Krypton they envision. He is therefore made into a person with no empathy for others, the perfect weapon meant to lead New Krypton. But he is still an abused child who wants love from his parents. Currently, he's realized Zod and Ursa genuinely don't care about him as their child, and they banished him for questioning Zod's authority. Lor at least, has more agency from what I've seen. He lashes out, he is unpleasant, he is still a child who wants to just be, loved. He feels more compelling to me because Lor isn't a perfect victim, far from it.
And abused kids can have agency, which Chris just, did not seem to have at all in the Action run I read. Otho and Osul are characters in their own right despite the abuse they suffered, and the dehumanization. I think Geoff Johns fumbled writing Chris, but I'm glad the fandom seems to have found his story compelling nonetheless! Sorry fi my post came off like I had some grudge against Chris specifically, it was more about how people react to Jon's age-up.
Hope you have a nice day.

editorial losing out on SO much money with the clark/chris/zod/jon mess…. blend the different canons, pop memories of chris back into clark, pull in the bendisboot mess where zod ends up a grandpappy to el babies, attract the zod stans, the game of thrones stans, gay people looking to read a mess, you name it….. so much potential 😔

What are your top five favorite DC stories? The ones that make you go feral/bonkers? Do want any of them to become movies if they aren't already?
So, my basic answer to "do I want it to be a movie" is no, because a lot of the time, the story suffers from being disconnected from the events of the concurrent comics and the much shorter timeframe of a movie. I do want my superhero movies to be based on or inspired by events from the comics, but... If I want the story in the comics, I'll read the comics, y'know? I dunno, I have mixed feelings on it. And trying to jump the gun and do, like, a Flashpoint story for the first Flash movie is just... That's dumb, don't do that. That's like doing Parallax for the first Hal-as-GL movie in a series. Don't do that.
At least, that's for the big multi-book arcs. The shorter stories? Ones that only took an issue or two? I could see that happening much more easily.
I also binge-read, which combines with my memory problems to make it hard to pick out individual stories. However, in no particular order, and definitely leaving other favorites out:
The issue where Wally had to transport that lady's heart across the country. That was cool and I loved it. It's been adapted to the small screen at least once, and that was good too, but it just hits different in the comic
The Impulse arc with Bart finding out about Preston's home life. That shit hurted.
Roy finding out about Lian existing -- y'all got to see me go insane about that in real time over on my comics blog, actually
Last Son/New Krypton/The Saga of Christopher Kent and His Brief Existence Before Detective Comics Forgot He Existed (i am still not okay, damnit, I want my boy back!)
Donna trying to sort through the million retcons and figure out who the hell she even is before her wedding and Dick helping her. Peak wondertwins right there. I love them so much.

Rebirth new Krypton
so i just finished the new krypton saga from 2008-2010 and it’s left me with ideas on how to do a new krypton in the modern age.
clearly i can’t just do the bottle city of kandor again, even though that was brilliant, because we don’t just repeat other people’s stories in this house, we mutilate them until we can have a legally distinct counterpart, so here’s my thinking.
So Krypton was a space empire that primarily competed with neighboring systems like Xudar, the home of Tomar-Re. And when Krypton blew up, the radiation could only spread so far, and the outer-colonies did manage to survive. BUT, they were now left unprotected from the Xudarian people who wanted to take this land.
Some like Romat-Ru wanted to genocide the whole race, but stable minds prevailed and the surviving Kryptonians were all absorbed into Xudar, most living on the Kryptonian outer colony of Mirao (original name easily could change, but my thinking is it’s kryptonian for “out of Rao’s gaze” or “Blind Rao”. I.,e. the land was so far away the people could barely see Rao’s star in the night sky)
due to time-dilation, there were many generations of the Mirao-Kryptonians, which were not just made of “true” Kryptonians, but other ethnicities such as Xannians and Vathlovians, which also lived on Krypton but were overshadowed by them.
